TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
I care deeply about getting to know the student's unique learning style and academic interests, and tailoring my teaching methods and materials to those, so that the student can learn most effectively. In addition, I take pride in being able to motivate and push the students -- via positive means, of course! -- to move beyond their current level and start developing a very advanced set of thinking and writing skills that are taught in Ivy League universities.
LOCATION:
Port Moody. I can drive to a public location (e.g., a quiet coffee shop) up to 15 minutes away at no extra charge.
I can travel up to a driving distance of 30 minutes for a small extra fee.
I also offer online tutoring (e.g., Skype video conference, email, etc.) for those with an especially hectic schedule or for those not living nearby. |
